This is yet another request for product information.

My son would like to buy a 386SX box with VGA color at as low
a price as feasible.  The lowest price for a unit with a 40M
drive appears to be around $1500.  However, Computer Shopper
has an ad from a company called Tredex in LA advertising a
20MHz 386 (not SX) system, with 4M RAM, 40M/28ms disk, 3.5"
floppy, 640 x 480 x .29" color VGA, S/P ports, 5 slots,
mouse, DOS 4.01 and BASIC -- for $1600.  Too good to be true?

At any rate, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who knows
something about the machine or the company.
